Rin Kaiho Fuseki Dictionary /

林海峰 《布局辞典》

This is also part of Nihon Ki-in weiqi dictionary series published during 1980s. (Dave Published in the 70's actually)

kklim: Dave statement is right, sorry for the mis-information. First Japan original version was published duing 1975. Second revision was published at 1996s, to update the content. Myself owning the licensed Chinese edition of the books. I bought at RM90 (or USD24) during the year of 2003. Here the Japan original book info:

(著者 林海峰著, 書名 【基本布石事典】(上巻、下巻), 出版社 日本棋院刊, 発行日 1975年12月1日, 価格 上下合計3800円)

The book as from various source mention, suitable for Dan level reader. It is different than Cho Hoon Hyun 5 book series on the fuseki. Rin's book does not cover basic knowledge beginners will want to know. It approach the book by dividing fuseki according to first move.

The only fuseki the book does not cover is the mini chinese opening, kobayashi opening, new kobayashi opening. As the time the book published, these three fusekis is still not yet appealing or widely adopted.

Dave I think this statement is out of date. Not only are certain key fuseki missing but the lines included for other fuseki are also now out of date as well. This work is about 30 years old now. The reader should be aware that it is not a reliable guide to up-to-date fuseki practice.

kklim: I agreed with Dave in he point out that the book is out of date in the sense of certain opening is not covered. As the author also warning reader in preface to read book in more open mind, as time do change the way people play. Reader must be able to capture timeless best practice from the selected kifu he use to illustrate his teaching. Personally I think it depend on how you use the book. Some book for some people is classic, for other it is not (it depend on the purpose and criteria you set). For me, I use it as a whole dictionaries suite (with others dictionary series together). For this book I just supplement with the opening type does not cover either by own learning note or specific book for specific opening. And get reference kifu thru the Kombilo searching if needed. For instance, I use KatoMasao's chinese opening book, Takemiya Masaki's Cosmo Go opening book as supplementary, as they do treat the subject in more specific manner.

Bob McGuigan: Robert Jasiek rates this book very highly in his reviews for both rank improvement and topic coverage. I think you can't read this book now as a dictionary, despite its title, but you can read it profitably to learn how to think about many opening patterns. In order to use it that way, though, you'll have to be fairly advanced.

Rin's approach of the book is to explain in detail the first 50 moves of the selected classic games he want to illustrate on the use of the fuseki. For me it is unique classic books, just like GoSeigen BlackFuseki, WhiteFuseki teaching the subject according to the perspective of black player and white player and strategy to deploy respectively.
